Bleu Salon's Plead

  • From Bleu Salon — A couple of Bleu's clients were in the accident on I-75 on Saturday. Please keep them in your thoughts!"

Shark Tagging With MOSI 

  • From MOSI —  "Want to track a shark without worrying about being lunch for a big fish? You can track tagged sharks as they swim around the world with the link below. Its easy, just zoom in on the map, click on a dot to see the shark and click "where have I been." If the map from "Lori Anne" doesn't make you a little paranoid, check out the number of sharks hugging the coast of South Africa. Wow." See http://sharks-ocearch.verite.com/

Children And Allergies

  • From Partners In Allergy & Asthma Care, P.A. —  "Did you know that of food allergic children, peanut is the most prevalent allergen, followed by milk and shellfish? Also, 38.7% of food allergic children have a history of severe reactions and 30.4% have multiple food allergies."
